the developing economies of Asia, along with normal population increases world wide will dramatically increase demand for fresh water. If we do nothing about this, expect BIG problems. The only viable solution to avoid "water wars" of the future is to ensure that we continue to develop desalinization technology, so 30 years from now we will be able turn sea water into an almost limitless supply of drinkable water.
What else can I help you with?
Why fresh water is becoming scarce?
It is not known when exactly when the fresh water supply will finish. However, as the world becomes more populated, the demand for water will increase and the 1% of available fresh water will be consumed faster.
Example of scarcity?
the demand for fresh water is unlimited, while the resources for fresh water are limited
How does sporting activities increase the demand for water?
Players are active and need a lot more water.
How does the increase in cars affects your fresh water supply?
because of the polution
What are the causes of rising demand of fresh water?

Which is lighter fresh or salt water?
Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').
How does water reclamation decrease water demand?
Water reclamation decreases water demand by treating and reusing wastewater for non-potable purposes like irrigation or industrial processes, reducing the need for fresh water. This helps to conserve water resources and lower demand on the water supply.
How can we plan to share the finite amount of our planet's fresh water when we can't know what future people will need?
The Earth's fresh water is finite, but it is also infinitely recyclable. Furthermore, in the future, more and more of our water will be obtained from the oceans through desalinization.
What will happen when entamoebahistalytica is kept in fresh water?
increase in size untill it bursts.
What are two possible ways to meet peoples future water needs?
Two possible methods of obtaining fresh water for the future are desalination and melting icebergs.
When will the supply of water be even with the demand?
It may never be. Only some places in the world have a lot of fresh water. Some countries or continents don't have any fresh water at all. The water in this world will never be evenly distributed.
Why is there less fresh water?
There is less fresh water available due to factors such as increased demand for consumption, pollution, climate change leading to altered precipitation patterns, and mismanagement of water resources. These factors have contributed to dwindling supplies of fresh water for human use and ecosystem health.
